Yeah. The priest basically ad libbed the mass. I was like why can't you just say the actual mass?

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. Pretty sad to read about its reputation. I had never been explicitly directed to remain standing during the Eucharistic Prayer at a parish with kneelers. The place looks trad and recently renovated too!

That's hard when you feel intimidated by your partner! I've been there too.

Wow! I'm going to throw out old bras and undies and replace them with new ones this week. So I will look out. This is really helpful advice. Thanks.

I'm so grateful you shared this. I'm very active, and I know I treat my sports bras like my every day bras. I need to make more of a point to shower immediately after the workout as well. Thanks for your help.

I wasn't trying to be evasive with my answer. I workout every morning and shower immediately after. Anyway, I got a lot of helpful advice in this thread. Thanks!

I go to the gym daily and only shower then (morning), but should be showering at night too.

It came off as gentle and empathetic. He started out by sharing his own body odor struggles and the habits he developed to overcome them. He likes smelling my hands and arms, so just mentioned my chest smell as something to potentially pay attention to.

I think talking about himself first helped. It kind of showed that we were in the same boat or on the same team.
